Its official, before heading to midterms today, I had my car dropped at an authorized Tein Dealer about 5 mins away from home. I didn't get to remove the splitters yet, hopefully friday afternoon after midterms.

Dropped on Tein Basics. 1.5 front 1.0 rear.

here are some quick shots when I got home today. Gonna take an official shoot with the bimmer and hopefully mike thurs afternoon!

Nice drop. Just wait till the springs settle a bit and the ride should get better. Ride low in the summer months and raise it in the winter You can keep the splitters if you like em . . . there not that bad Your car is practically what I have planned for mine to be in the near future. Keep it up! ! !
